What about it? Congress is still debating whether or not we should attack Syria. Even if we do, what will happen? Russia basically stated today that they will not interfere with the strike despite the fact that they're Syria's biggest ally.

Putin said, and I quote "we will not interfere if the evidence of the use of chemical weapons is strong enough". It's against international norms to use chemical weapons against your own people. Do you think Russia would support this? If anything, Syria is going to get a big butt spanking in front of the world for breaking the rules. There's not a damn thing they'll do about it.

It's not a war, it's a strike.

His statement was basically political insurance in the event that they decide not to back Syria -- which is most likely what will happen. It's simply not worth Russia getting involved. The evidence at this point, according to some, is overwhelming.
